Unless you are certain it is an immobiliser issue it is probably worth checking that the starter motor solonoid isn't playing up.

If the starter tries/works then it isn't the immobiliser but something else like a camshaft sensor which will sometimes only work when cold. Freeze spray? Easiest to do an OBD check with any reader and check for fault codes. There's a free programme called Toaf which is very good - use the search bar for more information.
Good luck |

Cam sensor being affected by the hot engine.--When it cools the engine will start.
This is an early sign of sensor failure.--- Not expensive and quite easy to fit.---All the information for fitting it is in the --------How-To-------section in the main forum page. Last edited by COLVERT; 13th May 2021 at 20:21.. |

Camshaft Position Sensor.
This is indicative of a failing camshaft sensor. Replace it now.
Initially, when failing the sensor will work when cold, but ceases to pass the camshafts position information to the engine control module when hot. I keep a spare in the boot – just in case. When a few hours drive from home (and no replacement was available), a friend placed the removed camshaft sensor in a refrigerator to cool it, then when refitted his car started. My understanding is that this sensor is only required when starting the engine - to pass position details to the EMS to enable the spark plugs to fire in their correct instance. |

True enough for the KV6, but the K4 uses a wasted spark and the diesels of course don't have spark plugs so for these engines the camshaft sensor provides the initial reference to the ECM for the fuel injection. |

For those who don't know what a ---Wasted Spark is---the spark happens on both inlet and exhaust strokes.--( It fires twice as often as is really needed. ----ie. Wasted. )
